Vibe: Vibe suffers an identity crisis
Picture stepping into a place and feeling a wave of sterility, that's the ambiance at this restaurant - outdated, sterile, desperately in need of an enthusiastic touch-up. Its funky layout threatens to disrupt your culinary experience, and the lack of any significant entertainment aggravates the dull setting. Despite the critics, it manages to pull off a cozy niche for date nights and an impressive array of cocktails.
Great Drinks
Diverse, well-priced wine with innovative, tasty, and strong cocktails.
Aesthetic
Outdated decor, dull vibe, dingy furniture, feels sterile and requires facelift.
Perks: Perks add a dash of balance
Salvaging itself from mediocrity, the exceptional perks knock some excitement into an otherwise ordinary experience. The perplexing outdoor seating might throw you off, as the feedback varies from person to person. However, belying the lackadaisical service, there are notable perks including ample parking, a noise level making conversations possible, diet-friendly menu options, and a welcoming atmosphere for larger groups.
Great for Groups
Accommodates large groups with spacious seating and great service.
Okay Outdoor
Outdoor seating available, but some experiences may differ vastly.
Bad Service
Excessive wait times, poor service, unclean establishment, and unprofessional.
